My Summary
About Me
**Spaces available now**
Hi I'm Lizzy, I live with my partner Mark, our daughter Sophia and our son Roman. I am an ofsted registered childminder and have been since May 2019. I have been working in childcare for over 10 years now.
Downstairs in our home is cosy and comfortable so that the children have a home from home feel when they come to me. We mainly play from the conservatory which is our playroom, this have free flow to the garden in the warmer months, meaning the children have lots of room to move and play in a safe space in which I can observe them at all times, while they take part in various play experiences.
Our garden offers lots of fun learning experiences, with an area for planting so they can see how things grow, cars, bikes and scooters for playing and physical activity and lots more resources to challenge the children and have fun with.
I love to get the children involved with cooking and baking in the kitchen, encouraging healthy eating and learning skills they will use for life.
We do lots of messy, sensory play (if they can’t when they’re little then when can they?!).
We also go on local daily outings, varying from, local play groups, meet ups with other childminders so that the children have lots of chances to socialise with children their age, nature walks or the local library.
For more information, please feel free to send me a message.
I look forward to hearing from you :)

Couldn’t be happier with our experience at Lizzy’s childminding. My daughter always feels relaxed and comfortable at Lizzy’s lovely home, and always comes home ready for a good night sleep after a busy day!
Lizzy provides a fun, creative learning environment for the kids and is always great at updating me as to what my daughter has been up too throughout the day.
My daughter can be a fussy eater, but Lizzy always provides her with healthy, filling meals and snacks to keep her going throughout the day.
Lizzy’s daughter Sophia has also proven a fabulous friend to my daughter and has brought her speech a long massively by being so switched on and clever herself.
All in all a great experience, my daughter will be sad to go to nursery!
